The impact of the New Asia Hotel attack not only caused a big shock in Shanghai, but also caused a big shock because of the news. Just look at the current predicament of the Shanghai Station to know how sharp the Shanghai Headquarters of THT is. However, the attack in the New Asia Hotel overturned many people in the Intelligence Division headquarters' perception of THT's capabilities. Zhang Jianghe, who was far away in Chongqing, also knew about this matter, but unlike others, Zhang Jianghe was not worried about the safety of Tangcheng.
Perhaps only Zhang Jianghe in the entire intelligence department knew best about Tang Cheng's abilities. When he was injured in an ambush in Shanghai, Tang Cheng had already sneaked into Hongkou District to attack the Japanese army. At this moment, Tang Cheng didn't know that someone outside Shanghai was worried about him. At this moment, he was taking Ah Jiu to another hiding place in the French Concession. Coming to Shanghai alone, Tang Cheng would not trust others easily. Before he met Boss Yu, he had already arranged safe houses in the French Concession and the Public Concession.
Tang Cheng’s safe house in the French Concession was also an apartment. The old Belarusian man who guarded the apartment received five US dollars in hush money from Tang Cheng every week. This extra money allowed this childless man to The old Belarusian man did his best to take care of this apartment for Tang Cheng. As usual, he gave the old Belarusian man a pack of cigarettes. Tang Cheng took Ah Jiu upstairs into his apartment, opened the bed in front of Ah Jiu, and took out two rather small wooden boxes from under the bed.
The wooden box under the bed board had been prepared by Tang Cheng a long time ago. Tang Cheng, who was worried that the secret would be exposed, had long been prepared for a situation like today. Tang Cheng opened the wooden boxes one by one and asked Ah Jiu to check the radio stations in the box in person. The latter did not expect that Tang Cheng would hide two brand-new radio stations so simply under the bed board. "I'll give you a key. The radio station is right here. You can take it with you at any time. The old Belarusian guy who looks after the door downstairs won't do anything. He just needs to give him a pack of cigarettes every time you come in or out of here."
Tang Cheng did not ask Ah Jiu to take the two radio stations away now at his own risk. Instead, he gave Ah Jiu a key to this place. "See that piece of glass on the left side of the window over there? If you want to contact me but can't find me, you can come here and pull off a strip of tape on that piece of glass. Don't stay here again. Leave a note or something, I don’t want to one day cause trouble because of some unnecessary negligence!" Tang Cheng gave Ah Jiu the key not just for the two radio stations, he also needed a channel to keep in touch with Xu Huanshan at any time .
Ah Jiu was Xu Huanshan’s assistant brought to Shanghai from Nanjing. Although he still didn’t understand the true intention of Tang Cheng’s move, he was considered an old underground party member. Even though he was confused, he didn’t ask any questions. He just nodded to express that he remembered it. Tangcheng’s explanation. Ah Jiu's reaction made Tang Cheng satisfied, so in front of Ah Jiu, he also pulled out a suitcase from under the sofa, opened the suitcase, and found several pistols and some ammunition in the suitcase. "I know that your underground party is short of everything. I won't be able to use these pistols for the time being. When you take away the radio station, you can take these with you."
The pistols and bullets in the box were all captured from the Japanese army at the scene of the attack on the Xinya Hotel in Tangcheng that night. Although the Nanfang pistols equipped by the Japanese army were not very good, they were useful to the Shanghai underground party who lacked necessary weapons and equipment. Words, but it is timely help. The look of surprise in Ah Jiu's eyes became more and more intense. As an old underground party member, he knew that Tang Cheng's method of casually hiding radio stations, weapons and ammunition was too childish, but nothing happened to him. How could he explain it!
Tang Cheng has been secretly paying attention to Ah Jiu's reaction. Although the other party seems to be a man of few words, and Tang Cheng's several attempts have not worked, Tang Cheng still sees the fleeting change in Ah Jiu's eyes. , seeing the restlessness in the other person's heart at this moment. Small sample! I still don’t believe there are things in this world that have nothing to do with you! Tang Cheng, who was secretly proud of himself, slowly tilted his lips. After giving the radio station and the pistols and ammunition to Ah Jiu, and leaving the keys to him, Tang Cheng left alone. As for how Ah Jiu took those things away, that was not something he needed to consider.
The situation in the concession looked very strange, and Tang Cheng was almost discovered by plainclothes agents today. After leaving the apartment, Tang Cheng went to a familiar store to buy some cooked food, and immediately returned to his residence. Hiding at home and not going out is not Tang Cheng's style. Tang Cheng, who locks himself in the study as soon as he returns home, has more important things to do. Two of the three guys shot dead in the street in Tangcheng were Japanese plainclothes agents affiliated with the Special High-tech Section, so he got two more chances to win the lottery from the system.
After experiencing dozens of consecutive system lottery draws last time, Tang Cheng suddenly had an epiphany. With this magical system lottery, the lottery chances he obtained by hunting Japanese spies were far greater than those obtained by shooting Japanese soldiers or ordinary Japanese. , can extract good things. Tang Cheng locked himself in the study because he wanted to use the two lottery opportunities he got today to confirm his conclusion. With a mouthful of cooked food and a mouthful of Coke, Tang Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa with a comfortable expression, was half full in a short time.
After having enough water and food, Tang Cheng smoked another cigarette, and then finally opened the system light curtain. This time there were only two lottery opportunities, but Tang Cheng still had two consecutive draws like last time. After the lottery was over, Tang Cheng did not take a closer look at the light group that burst out from the system's light screen. Instead, he closed his eyes and prayed in his heart. After a few breaths of silence, Tang Cheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at the content display below the light screen. The golden touch that represented the stamina potion made Tang Cheng almost jump up and down. After leaving Nanjing, he never drew a stamina potion from his system again.
In two lottery opportunities, Tang Cheng won a stamina potion and a can of beef. Tang Cheng was very satisfied with the results of this lottery. Tang Cheng opened the canned beef and ate it, but Tang Cheng temporarily put the stamina potion into his equipment bag. When Tang Cheng was in Nanjing, he had already used two stamina potions. His current physical fitness and strength far exceeded ordinary people, but he still had a family, and Tang Cheng hoped that his family would also be strong and healthy.
But what's more important to Tang Cheng is that he finally confirmed his inference through the lottery just now. The lottery chances for shooting Japanese spies will indeed be better than shooting Japanese soldiers and ordinary Japanese. The probability is higher.
While Tang Cheng was hiding alone in his study and feeling proud, Ah Jiu had already returned to another contact point of the Shanghai Underground Party in the concession with a radio and a pistol. Xu Huanshan had been waiting here for almost 2 hours. . Finally waiting for Ah Jiu to come back safely, Xu Huanshan, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief, "You are finally back, I thought you were in trouble!" Xu Huanshan complained softly, but his eyes were already fixed on Ah Jiu. The big bag that Nine brought back.
Ah Jiu was not angry because of Xu Huanshan's complaint. He just carefully placed the big bag he was carrying on the table, and then motioned to Xu Huanshan to open the big bag. Xu Huanshan, who was feeling faintly excited, opened the big bag on the table. The brand new radio station in the big bag made Xu Huanshan almost scream out. "I have checked everything. The radio is made in Germany and is for military use. Although spare parts are hard to find in China, German products are more durable than Japanese products."
After Ah Jiu said this, he took out the pistol from his waist and handed it to Xu Huanshan, "The man also gave a few pistols, saying that they were given to us for free, and they were considered as an addition to the business. But the little devil's The pistols in the south are not that good. When I have more time, I want to take them to the black market and find someone to exchange them for some guns." Ah Jiu has been following Xu Huanshan for a long time, and the communication between the two has always been straightforward and direct. explain.
Xu Huanshan's entire attention at the moment was focused on the radio station. After carefully reading the German codes on the radio station, Xu Huanshan let out a long sigh of relief. But before he could speak, Ah Jiu took out the key that Tang Cheng had given him before leaving, "I temporarily put the remaining radio and pistol in an apartment provided by that person. , I have the key here, I can go over and take away the radio and pistol at any time." Xu Huanshan was slightly stunned by Ah Jiu's words, but he immediately understood Tang Cheng's intention.
"Take the key first. I guess this is a way for him to keep in touch with us. After all, people come in and out of the place where you stay. If he wants to contact me for anything, he has to worry about exposing his whereabouts." Xu Huanshan Ah Jiu's words reminded him. No wonder the man reminded him to use the tape on the window glass as a communication signal before leaving the apartment. Ah Jiu, who understood, immediately repeated Tang Cheng's original words to Xu Huanshan.
"Only you and I know this line. That person is very careful in his actions. Since he told you so, just do as he said." What Ah Jiu relayed made Xu Huanshan make up his mind. There will be no other arrangements for Ah Jiu during this period. If there is anyone who Xu Huanshan trusts the most after being transferred to the Shanghai underground party organization, Ah Jiu must be one of them. He will use Ah Jiu to act as a bridge between himself and Tang Cheng. liaison officer, at least there would be no possibility of Tang Cheng being exposed.
Xu Huanshan wanted to bring Tang Cheng into his camp, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng had already had thoughts about this. Regarding his future path, Tang Cheng had made clear plans early when he left Nanjing. Xu Huanshan only knew that Tang Cheng was very skilled, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng was equally smart. In Xu Huanshan's impression, this young man who was not yet 20 years old had already planned out the rest of his life. trajectory.
